Have you got this sorted now Gaz22?

If the card isn't showing to the pc at all.

1. the PCI slot is faulty on the motherboard.
2. the NIC card is faulty?
3 the card isn't in the PCI slot properly

If the card is pushed home correctly in a working PCI slot the motherboard has to reconise new hardware and this sets up the hardware wizard to install drivers.

I changed from USB to ethernet without removing the USB drivers just incase I had problems.
When I first sawtched on the card wasn't recognised so we pushed it further in and it worked you need to be sure its in the slot level or one side ends up further in than the other.

Please let us know how you have got on with this problem.
